There was another earthquake today at about 10:30 this morning. I've decided that earthquakes are not fun when you are on the 47th floor. I was in Roppongi Hills teaching and when the earthquake hit, the building started swaying. Granted it was built to do that, but the creaking windows and girders were not a pleasant experience. Then when I went to leave after my class I couldn't! All the elevators had shut down so I was trapped inside!
They said it would take another hour to get them up and running, which didn't help me because I had another class. Luckily there was an elevator running from like the 30th floor - so I had to wait for security to come and get me and escort me down 17 flights of stairs so I could get to the elevator. At least I was lucky - the poor security guard had to walk back up all of those 17 flights to go and get the next group that wanted to come down!
